I’ll Take A Side Of Fries And A Legendary Dragon Quest Monster. To Go, Please.

Instead of collectable Happy Meal toys, McDonalds is luring kids inside with digital Dragon Quest monsters. Customers with a copy of Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D can pick up a Slanin Purple on May 31. Stop by a McDonalds with Mac de DS service on June 9 and you can get the legendary Lamia – the bird that flies players around in Dragon Quest III.

Delivery for both rare monsters will stop on June 21. Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D comes out on May 31.

Didn’t they have a similar promotion for Dragon Quest IX a few years back? I guess that’s what happens when the most popular jrpg meets fast food. I also remember there being a Contest with a Pizza company (possibly Pizza Hut but I’m not 100 sure) where the winner got a 360 with Tales of Vesperia.

Why can’t MY fast food places have cool contests like that? :/

I still remember when pizza hut gave out demo disc.
Those were good times （￣ー￣）

To be honest, I try to avoid fast food restaurants as much as possible, but I would be willing to go eat there more if they were to offer in-game contents!

Based on my occasional sodas, I’ve seen some Soda companies offer a code that lets you download a free app for your iOS/Android phone. Of course, I don’t know just how well made the apps are, but that seems like a decent promotion seeing as so many people have smartphones now.

This should sell nicely. <= thought the article meant toys.
This is GENIUS! <= realizing it said digital transaction.

The game has the collectibility feature kids absolutely LOVE. I think DQ/DW/DQM is crazy popular over there too so this is like- the best idea since what… The happy meal toy itself? I bet they save quite a bit on resources.

The question is, how will this transfer when it comes over here? o_o;
r.r; tch, probably a preorder bonus.

I’d buy a Happy Meal for Dragon Quest toys. I don’t give a **** what they think of me buying an Happy Meal.

>:3

LOL There is CONTENT to be had! If their happy meal is holding that for hostage then they can TAKE my money XD
